It's fool proof as well. And if yours don't look this good the first time around.. just know that mine probably
didn’t look this good the first time either. But it's not just the looks that get you with these loaves.
Its the crisp crust and soft crumb that rises and bakes all within 2 hours. And it leaves you with these gorgeous
artisan loaves that look like they came straight from a bakery. You're sure to impress all your guests with
these.
This recipe works amazingly well with my recent appetizer recipe.
I've had such rave reviews whenever | serve these to our friends. In fact one went home with the recipe, made
it the next day and sent me pictures to show it off his beautiful creation, And this friend was a novice bread
baker. He had never baked bread before. So if he can do it..so can you!

2. Knead It: Fold the far edge of the dough back over on itself towards you. Press into the dough
with the heels of your hands and push away. After each push, rotate the dough 90°. Repeat this
process in a rhythmic, rocking motion for § minutes, sprinkling only enough flour on your kneading
surface to prevent sticking, Let the dough rest while you scrape out and grease the mixing bow!
with a few drops of olive oil (preferred) or non stick baking spray. Knead the dough again for 2 to
3 minutes.
3, Let It Rise: Return the dough to the bow! and tum it over once to grease the top. Cover with a
damp towel and keep warm until the dough doubles in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours,

dough in half and shape into two Italian- or French-style loaves. Place the loaves on a cookie
sheet generously sprinkled with cornmeal. Let the loaves rest for 5 minutes,
Bake it:

loaves onto baking stone” in a cold oven. | use this one. Bake at 400°F for 35 to 45 minutes, until
the loaves are golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Alternate method:
1. Fora lighter, crustier bread, let your shaped loaves rise for 45 minutes. Preheat the oven and
roasting pan with water to 500°F for 15 minutes. Brush the loaves with cold water, place in the
‘oven and bake for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 400°F and bake for 10 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing,

your bread will not have as nice of a crisp crust.
